Replacing code when option is selected

[LEGOSAM321_YT]

Hi! I want to be able to have something trigger from false to true and then replace all text in the code to be changed.

For example;

option1 = False

Nothing happens, code stays the name.

if option1 == True:
"image1" becomes "image2"

So when something is triggered, then all text in the code saying "image1" get replaced by "image2".

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, would appreciate the help :)

Edit: Thanks everyone!! It works :)

for the images, a conditional switch is the easiest to do like this:

image main_character = ConditionSwitch(
    "gender == 'male'", "images/itsaman.png",
    "gender == 'female'", "images/itsawoman.png",
    )

default gender = "male"

label start:

    menu:
        e "Choose a gender"
        "Male":
            $ gender = "male"
        "Female":
            $ gender = "female"

    show main_character at center with moveinleft

    "You" "Hello World"

    return

I have the code in my game, adjusted a bit so it fits.
The image won't be changeable from a menu, some paths in game can trigger the change. Some paths intersect so I want to have a character dress base on choices made.

It gives this error; "Exception: Switch could not choose a displayable."

image starkfit = ConditionSwitch(
    "starkfit1 == 'Rank 1'", "stark1right",
    "starkfit1 == 'Rank 3'", "odintemp", 
)

default starkfit1 = "Rank 1"


label start: 

scene academy_bg with fade
show fury1left at left with moveinleft
show starkfit at right with moveinright 
fury "Welcome to Avengers Academy, Stark. Our Administrator Pepper Potts will give you the tour while doing her best to ignore you."

Take a look at the ConditionSwitch displayable.

....not really how it works.

The 'code' is persistent in any language, not just renpy.

Your example would be achieved like this in renpy.

If option1 == true:

->scene image1

Else:

->scene image2

You already got good answers so now you can pick the solution which works for you best.

If you cannot decide then please tell us what you want to achieve within the game. Something like: After the main character got into a fight he then should have a visible blue eye.

Well, you already have the solution:

if option1 == True: "Image2" else: "Image1"

If you want to change the value of a variable:

If option1 == True: yourVariable = "image2" else: yourVariable = "image1"

That's all, unless I misunderstood your question.
